"I don't wanna go back home.." George said as he tried to hold back tears.
"Why not? Is there something wrong?" Dream asked.

Don't say it George, don't you dare. He'll use it against you.

"I.. I don't wanna go back home because.. thats where my mom died." George lied. He thought maybe stuttering will make it seem like its true.
"What? Have you only found out now?"
"Yes. I only found out now. Thats where my mom died. My f-father killed her." George said.
"What a bad father.." Dream said.
"So for now, I'm gonna stay with you."
"So your gonna stay with me now?" Dream asked.
"I just said I will, didn't you hear me idiot?" George answered as he rolled his eyes.
"I can kick you out anytime, watch your mouth." Dream warned.
"Like you can." George teased.
Dream moved closer to George and lifted his chin "Oh I definitely can."
George's face turned red. He pushed Dream away from him and stood up which made Dream wheeze.

"Don't do that you f-fucking idiot." George said as he continued to back off.
"PFFT- WHY DID YOU STUTTER WHEN YOU SWORE- HAHAH-" Dream continued to laugh.

"Haha. Yeah yeah veeerry funny Dream." George rolled his eyes. "Can't believe I have to live with you"

"Why are you acting like I made the decision, you literal- literally made it so that you'd live with me."

"Fuck you, I hate you." George said as he walked back to the cottage room.

1 hour later..

"George? You awake?" Dream continued to knock on his door.

"What do you want Dream?" George groaned, still not opening the door.

"I finished cooking. We need to eat before we leave. We need to leave before sun sets. Its gonna be quite dangerous to search for your hat at night. There will show those idiotic wolves again."

George got up and opened the door.

"Wow your hair's a mess." Dream said sarcastically.
"Shut up Dream." George said as he walked to the log he was sitting on earlier that afternoon.
George was worried that Dream might take him somewhere and hurt him, if he brings the stuff he collected, Dream will get suspicious of him.

(After eating)

"Alright, ready to go?"
"Y-yeah, as far as I know my legs are feeling a bit okay now. Its strong enough to walk." George said.
"Alright, lets go."

"Where did you leave it? Was it near your hometown?"

"Very, it was very near. I live in Kinoko kingdom."

"Oh wow, so we live in the same place then. Which village?"

Village? No.. I don't live in a village. Doesn't he not know me? I'm prince George, the second son of the King of Kinoko kingdom..

"I- uh.. It's very near the castle. Maybe like Village 1?" George managed to stutter out.

"What do you mean maybe? Do you not know where you live?" Dream asked.

George kept silent.

"Alright, I guess thats a yes. Village 1 we go, I think."

"How do you know where it is?" George asked.
"I'm a hunter. I know this place on the back of my hoof."
"Wait stop here-!" George shouted
"What?" Dream asked.
"I think its my- my mushroom hat! I found it Dream! Look-!" George gleefully shouted. George put on the mushroom hat, it was a bit dirty, but he didn't really mind.

"You look cute in that hat." Dream complimented.
"Oh wow, finally something nice came out of your mouth." George teased.
"Oh shut up."
Dream walked forward to the village.
"Aren't we going back to the cottage?" George asked as he looked back to Dream.
"No silly. That was just my temporary cottage when I'm hunting. Theres more food in the forest so I built a house in the middle of it. I actually live in the Village 7. Come with me, I'll show you where I actually live." Dream said as he lead George to his village. Still a bit worried that Dream might take him somewhere else.

George, upon isolating himself in his castle room his whole life, has never seen outside before. He was amazed by everything he saw. The birds flying in the sky, the trees swinging, the cool breeze, and the scent of plants after a rainy day.

"Heres my house. I live here alone. My friend Sapnap lives a few houses away." Dream said as he unlocked the door. George was relieved. He recognized the village. He was so glad Dream didn't take him somewhere else.
"Don't you live with your family?" George asked as he walked inside the house.
"They live a few villages away from me, I moved here because I want to live near my friends, Sapnap and Karl. Its the only available house thats near them."

George looked around the house. It was quite small, because he wasn't used to going into other people's houses. I mean, he isolated himself from everybody.

"You can stay here in the bedroom next to mine. That ones the second guest room. You can also take some of my clothes, you look really dirty right now." Dream said while pointing to the room he was talking about. "Oh and, infront of your room, theres the bathroom." he added.

George went to his room. Dream went to his room to pick out clothes for George to wear.

"Alright, you can wear these. I don't know if it fits you though, can you try one of them on?"
"Eh, not like I have a choice." George said.
He grabbed the clothes and went to the bathroom to go wash himself first before he tries it on, hes pretty dirty after all those running.

Oh lord, this feels like this is gonna reach my knee. Its so long-!

He tried them on and just as he expected, it was long enough to reach his knee. He sighed then brushed his hair. He finally was done. He went out of the bathroom and went back to his room.

When George walked in the room, Dream's face turned red. "O-oh wow. I didn't expect my clothes to be that long on you. It reaches your knee." he said.

"Your literally a giant. Your clothes don't fit me." George said.

"Alright so uh, I'm gonna take a rest on my room now. If you need me, just knock on my door-" Dream said as he rushed to leave George's room, blushing. Dream shutted George's door close. "Oh god.. Am I gonna deal with this for a long time?" Dream said to himself.

------
"Well that was weird."  George said. He laid down on his bed, feeling free and amazed how hes not surrounded with people asking for photos. He imagined on how many things he can do without being Prince George, just, George. He wanted to change his identity. From Prince George to just, a normal human being in a village. No royalty.

-----
George lived with Dream for almost a week now. Since George is the son of the leader of Kinoko kingdom, he got worried. He has been missing for a week now. He had ordered his guards to put signs of his son being missing, so that he can find him easily.
While the king is panicking, George is out here, enjoying his new life that wont last for long. His brother, Alex was also worried he hasn't come back home. George told him he'll be back..
